lyrics

The comforter sits in a lifeguard’s tower
Watching all from above
The comforter has control of what your dreaming of

The comforter is the one at the top
The one who keeps the peace
The comforter lives for the sake of us all
The comforter never sleeps

The comforter ties his world in knots
To push away the guilt and the pain
The comforter knows the words to say
Does the comforter know his own name

Day by day, hour by hour
The comforter loses his comforting power
Oh to replenish, oh to believe
That comfort is more than a trick up his sleeve

The comforter yearns for a moment of calm
Where the world doesn’t spin so fast in his palm
Where the subjects move at a glacial pace
Where he doesn’t read into the smile on your face

Where the sun softly sets, where the animals graze
Where the food is digested, where there’s an end to the maze
Where he is just one of the children at play
Never showing his age

So the comforter climbs to his perch in the sky
Another bright morning to soothe your cry
Another beginning another goodbye
The comforter follows through

And the comforter leads with a soft hello
Doing his duty from show to show
Getting up early going with the flow
The comforter follows through
The comforter knows what to do
The comforter is you
